본 연구에서는 합성가스를 기질로 Clostridium ljungdahlii를 생물촉매로 바이오에탄올을 생산하는 공정을 개발하고, pH가 미생물 성장 및 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 다양한 초기 pH 조건(pH 5~8)에서 pH제어 없이 발효실험을 수행한 결과, 부산물인 acetic acid의 축적에 따라 모든 조건에서 24 h 이내에 pH 4.5 이하로 감소되고 미생물의 성장과 에탄올 생산이 중단되는 것을 확인하였다. 사용된 pH 조건 중에서 가장 높은 초기 pH 8의 경우가 가장 높은 미생물 성장과 에탄올 생산량(0.53 g/L)을 보였으며, 이는 상대적으로 pH의 감소가 늦게 일어나기 때문으로 생각된다. pH를 제어할 수 있는 생물반응기를 사용하여 pH 7로 유지시키며 생물공정을 운전한 결과, 최대 미생물 농도 1.65 g/L과 최대 에탄올 농도 1.43 g/L를 24 h 이내에 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 pH를 중성영역에서 유지할 경우 C. ljungdahlii의 성장을 최대화할 수 있고, growth-associated production의 특성을 보이는 에탄올의 생산량을 최대화할 수 있는 것을 확인시켜준다.

Edible films containing antimicrobial agents can be used as safe alternatives to preserve food products. Essential oils are well-recognized antimicrobials. However, their low water solubility, volatility and high sensitivity to oxygen and light limit their application in food preservation. These limitations could be overcome by embedding these essential oils in complexed product matrices exploiting the encapsulation efficiency of β-cyclodextrin. This study focused on the maximization of β-cyclodextrin production using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) and the evaluation of its encapsulation efficacy to fabricate edible antimicrobial films. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize CGTase production by Brevibacillus brevis AMI-2 isolated from mangrove sediments. This enzyme was partially purified using a starch adsorption method and entrapped in calcium alginate. Cyclodextrin produced by the immobilized enzyme was then confirmed using high performance thin layer chromatography, and its encapsulation efficiency was investigated. The clove oil/β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes were prepared using the coprecipitation method, and incorporated into chitosan films, and subjected to antimicrobial testing. Results revealed that β-cyclodextrin was produced as a major product of the enzymatic reaction. In addition, the incorporation of clove oil/β-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes significantly increased the antimicrobial activity of chitosan films against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. In conclusion, B. brevis AMI-2 is a promising source for CGTase to synthesize β-cyclodextrin with considerable encapsulation efficiency. Further, the obtained results suggest that chitosan films containing clove oils encapsulated in β-cyclodextrin could serve as edible antimicrobial food-packaging materials to combat microbial contamination.

미생물 효소에 의해 생산된 생산모액 내의 글루타치온(L-${\gamma}$-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, GSH)을 액체크로마토그래피를 이용하여 분리하였다. GSH와 결합하는 수지를 선택하기 위해 여러 수지와 GSH 수용액을 사용하여 회분식 흡착실험을 한 결과, pH 8.0에서 음이온 교환수지인 Q-sepharose와 QAE- sephadex에 GSH가 결합하였으나, QAE-sephadex는 수지와 결합된 GSH를 이탈시키기 위해 사용된 salt에 의해 부피가 줄어들어 부적합하였다. GSH 분리를 위한 기초실험을 위하여 GSH, cysteine, glutamate, glycine, $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine, ATP, glucose의 혼합액에서 GSH와 $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine를 다른 물질로부터 1차 분리할 수 있었다. NaCl의 농도를 조절하여 두 물질이 중첩되는 현상을 제거하여 분리하고자 하였으며, GSH의 tailing현상을 줄이도록 노력하였다. NaCl(35mM)을 용해시킨 Tris buffer를 사용함으로써 두 물질의 분리가 가능하였고, 생산모액을 사용하여 실험한 결과, 혼합 시료와 유사한 분리결과를 얻을 수 있었다. Standard solution에서의 GSH 분리결과 72.6%의 회수율을 보였으며, 생산 모액에서는 84.4%의 회수율을 각각 보였다.

Hyperglycemia or high glucose (HG), is the hallmark of diabetes, known to induce oxidative stress, release of chemokines, and cytokines, which confer endothelial cell damage. On the other hand, microbial transformation of organic materials often leads to certain changes in their product structures which could enhance their biological activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the beneficial effects of fermented Gastrodia elata (FGE) in HG induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) dysfunction. GE, fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has an extensive history of safe use, exhibited higher phenolic compounds content than those of Gastrodia elata (GE). The HG-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were significantly attenuated by FGE pretreatment to the cells, in a concentration dependent manner. In addition, FGE showed marked activity in free radical scavenging. These results suggest that FGE possesses beneficial effects in protecting against the oxidative stress, and inflammatory conditions in endothelial cells, caused by HG.

Ginseng have been traditionally used for strengthening immunity, providing nutrition and recovering health from fatigue. Recently, pharmaceutical activities of ginseng roots have been proven by many researches, and ginseng has become a world-famous medicinal plant. Ginseng saponin, ginsenoside, is one of the most important secondary metabolite in ginseng which has various pharmacological activities. Many studies have aimed to convert major ginsenosides to the more active minor ginsenoside Rg3 for consumer demand ginseng product. Microbial strain GS514 strain was isolated from soil around ginseng roots for enzymatic preparation of ginsenoside Rg3, which strain shows strong ability of converting ginsenoside Rb1and Rd into Rg3 in the solution with NaCl. The gene encoding a ${\beta}$-glucosidase from this GS514 was cloned and expressed in the BL21 (DE3) strain of Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified and characterized. The molecular mass of purified was 87.5 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE. The gene sequence revealed significant homology to the family 3 glycoside hydrolases. The purified single enzyme also catalyzed the conversion of ginsenoside Rb1 into Rg3. This target enzyme will be able to produce as much saponin for consumer demand ginseng product. Anti-apoptotic proteins bind with pro-apoptotic proteins to induce apoptosis mechanism. Over expression of these anti-apoptotic proteins lead to several cancers by preventing apoptosis. Docking simulations were performed for anti-apoptotic proteins with several ginsenosides from Panax ginseng. Our finding shows ginsenosides particularly Rg3, Rh2 and Rf have more binding affinity with apoptotic proteins. Further, these docking system of each ginsenosides can be extended to experimental screen system for further brief confirmations of several diseases.

Product quality and shelf-life effect of sodium lactate (SL) in combined with chitosans with various molecular weights (MW) in low-fat sausages (LFSs) stored at $10^{\circ}C$ were evaluated. LFSs with SL and chitosans had 75-76% moisture, 1-2% fat, and 15.8-17.1% protein with a pH range of 6.3-6.6. Water holding capacity was decreased, but most textural properties were increased with the addition of chitosan with MW of 30-40 kDa. Hunter a (redness) values were also increased with the addition of sodium lactate and chitosans in combination with laccaic acid at the level of 0.05%, resulting in similar Hunter a value of 150 ppm of sodium nitrite. The combination of SL and chitosans slightly extended the shelf-life of LFSs approximately 3-6 days at $10^{\circ}C$, resulting in inhibition the growth of L. monocytogenes and E. coli O157:H7, as compared to the control. However, the inhibition of microbial growth at $10^{\circ}C$ was not as strong as that at $4^{\circ}C$. Thus, the storage temperature should be as low ($<4^{\circ}C$) as possible to have a maximum antimicrobial activity in LFS containing SL and various chitosans.

본 연구는 자원량이 감소하고 있는 명태 등의 백색육 어류를 대체하기 위하여 백색도가 높고 잠재 자원량이 많지만 특유의 비린내가 있고 겔화가 어려운 대왕오징어에 겔 강화제를 첨가하여 품질이 향상되고 비린내를 줄인 대왕오징어 어묵의 개발과 setting의 영향을 분석하였으며, 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Mixture model로 설계한 14개의 실험구에서 konjac flour와 MTGase의 양이 많을수록 gel texture는 크게 향상되었으며, 대조구에 비하여 setting을 적용한 제품의 gel texture가 더 높아 대왕오징어 어묵의 제조에 setting 공정은 반드시 필요하다고 생각된다. 대왕오징어육, 수분, konjac flour 및 MTGase의 비율이 각각 45, 40.6, 10 및 0.2%일 때 gel texture가 가장 높아 최적 배합비로 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 제조한 대왕오징어 어묵은 감자전분을 첨가한 대왕오징어 어묵에 비하여 맛과 향에서 유의적으로 높아(p<0.05) 대왕오징어 특유의 비린맛과 향을 줄일 수 있다고 생각되며, 시판 어묵과 맛과 색에서 유의적인 차이가 없어(p<0.05) 산업적으로 백색육 어류를 대체하여 활용하는 것이 가능하다고 판단된다.

Purpose: Drying is one of the most widely used methods for preserving agricultural products or food. The main purpose of drying agricultural products is to reduce their water content for minimizing microbial spoilage and deterioration reaction during storage. Methods: Although numerous drying methods are successfully applied to dehydrate various agricultural products with little drying time, the final quality of dried samples in terms of appearance and shape cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, based on published literature, this review was conducted to study the drying characteristics of various agricultural products when different drying methods were applied. Results: An increase in the drying power of sources-for example, increase in hot air temperature or velocity, infrared or microwave power-and the combination of drying power levels can reduce the drying time of various agricultural products. In addition, energy efficiency in drying significantly relies on the compositions of the dried samples and drying conditions. Conclusions: The drying power source is the key factor to control entire drying process of different samples and final product quality. In addition, an appropriate drying method should be selected depending on the compositions of the agricultural products.

Application of omija(Schizndra chinensis Baillon) to improve the quality and preservation of nabka kimchi was attempted and the optimal amount of omija level and its effect on the sensory and microbiological properties of nab마 kimchi during fermentation were examined. Effects of omija juice which had been prepared by extracting omija seeds for 9 hr at room temperature (22.5$\pm$0.5$^{\circ}C$) with different ratios (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0%;w/v) of water were examined against control (kimchi prepared without omija). Organoleptic and microbiological properties of nabak kimchi were measured up to 25 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$ after preparation. Sensory properties were evaluated in the aspects of both acceptability and intensity characteristics. In whole, 0.5 and 1.0% treatments showed higher values of evaluation, compared to control, 1.5, and 2.0% treatments throughout the fermentation period. As fermentation progresses, however, sample of 1.0% treatment ranked first between day 4 to 7 and also so did sample of 0.5% treatment along with 1.0% treatment from behind day 10. As for color, control, 0.5% treatment, and 1.0% treatment were more favored than rest of the samples. In texture, 2.0% treatment showed the highest values, whereas control was rated the lowest. In the intensity of characteristics 1.5% and 2.0% treatments showed higher values except sweet taste in which 1.0% treatment ranked top during the initial 7 days and then 0.5% treatment took the first place at behind day 10. total cell counts and number of lactic acid bacteria were gradually increased and then decreased showing the maximum levels of microbial counts on different days, to say, day 2 for control and 0.5% treatment nd day 7 for 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% treatments. The application of omija juice in nabak kimchi enhanced eating qualities of the fermented product and the fermentation-retarding effect of omija juice was clearly shown during the initial seven days of fermentation. The optimum levels of omija juice in nabak kimchi obtained through experiments were between 0.5 to 1.0% for color, fermentation-retarding effects, and savory taste of the product.
